Colmworth: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you cover the whole of Bedford Borough?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Colmworth. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Shower tray repair at your home in Colmworth
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Colmworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we are called out for in Colmworth
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches in the surface
- A crack across the base
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
